On the other hand, I do agree that it's going to fly or die based on what people can develop for it, and develop for it *fast*. The demos might have been rigged. 🙂 They were certainly playing from CD, but that doesn't mean much. I suspect they were created in AmigaVision, on a big hard disk, then the hard disk image was copied to CD. But that's not *really* cheating, that's how these CDs will be mastered and manufactured. Of course, you're free to use whatever AmigaDOS applications you want to create your CD application. I don't think they were full applications, in other words. They had demo modes that flickered the CD light and changed the picture on the screen, and the mouse pointer could be moved, but… The audio demo was truly interactive and real, though. You could click on buttons and jump to new songs, etc. I talked with one person who's interface AmigaVision to his computer-controlled laser disk player. He has the Dragon's Lair laser disk, from the arcade game. He is in the process of using AmigaVision to re-create the video game! He insists the response time is *better* than the original. 🙂 He's using AmigaVision to program the proper sequences of animation, based on joystick input.
